A good RAS will have a crosscut depth of 20+ inches. A good RAS can carry a
10" dado head. A good RAS can carry a molding head. The SCMS can do none of
those things.

....and yet the SCMS takes nearly the same footprint as the RAS.

Of course, these days a good RAS costs in the neighborhood of $3000.

A good new one. Bargains on good used ones are pretty easy to find. Of
course, crappy used ones are even more plentiful, so the buyer must
beware. Still, it does seem odd to me that they've fallen so much
out of favor.
